Slogging uphill
then jogging downhill,
I return to a place as I have returned
to places
that are
also this place. Such
is the mystery that is always racing before me,
lost in the moment when
my mind is re-searching the pathways
and bridges that lead to its
mercurial vision of realty.
At first glance this land looks
like any that's been saved by humans, from humans;
unlike
one that, "was dotted with hundreds of places
where spirit
was manifested."
When there
is no foundation on which to build a temple, a psychopomp will
guide
you
to a field that is"our collective conscious
presence
in history,
and we will live
again
at the heart
of the real."
